I think you should revise the details again.
1. Cap:
Eagle badge is wrong and too large, Rommel preferred the more delicate metal variant of it. I show below his original cap, he wore in France 1944...:
2. Shoulder Boards:
Wrong form, they looked completely different from the front.
3. Orders:
Rommal wore TWO orders at his neck, the Knights Cross with oak leeves and swords and the Pour-le-Merite from the WW1.
And: The Knights Cross you sculpted too large.
4. Coat:
Two visible buttons are missing, there should be four to be seen on each side, not only three ones.
5. Pistol:
Rommels personal pistol was a "Walther PPK", cal. 7,65 mm. The holster of this "Walter" was much smaller than you have sculpted it.
6. Marschallstab:
Your figure wears the so-called "Interims-Marschallstab" (for everyday). First, it was longer, but much more delicate than the one you sculpted.
Summary in the picture:
I do not say this to make your job badly or to appreciate it, but to give you clues to sculpt a really good figure - especially if it will be a commercial one that should sell well in Germany!
Cheers

Maybe you could sculpt him in larger scale?
